Five star ship with two star service

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Costa Toscana

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

9 of us took this cruise from Dubai. The food was terrible with all the inclusive options by buffet. A number of bars were closed including the main pool bar meaning you had to walk down a level and half the length of the ship to get a drink. No waiters around the pools. Buffets completely overcrowded. Rooms were okay and the entertainment was good. It was a five star ship ran like a 2 star ...

We chose this cruise because it was to celebrate a special birthday and sailing around the Emirates seemed like a special trip. The Ship was too big - 5000 passengers and 1600 crew members. It was full of very rude passengers who treated other people like dirt. Staff said they felt they were treated like 'scum' by most of the passengers. The staff were amazing, especially in the restaurant, ...

The information Was not sent through to the organisation at the ship. Just a sorry from the hostess.. But nothing else was. Being organised 2) In a restaurant i asked a waiter for some extra butter for the bread... His responsed very short and rude: I ...

the good (YAY!)— -doha, abu dhabi, and dubai excursions booked through MSC; the guides were excellent. -beautiful ship and kept very clean. -friendly staff (for the most part). the bad (meh…)— -the food. i’m not picky at all and the MDR food was poor. the descriptions didn’t match the food served (i.e. ceviche, cream of asparagus soup, etc). the buffet food was decent. room service ...

My partner and I chose this cruise based on Oceania's tag line "Best cuisine in the sea", or words to that effect. Twenty days on the ship and it was downhill from day two. The problem was the food. It was not just us, but practically every other passenger we spoke to, We have cruised on other lines, Cunard, Celebrity, Holland America, Windstar and have never been disappointed with the ...

This was our 5th Silversea Cruise and we choose it for the Itinerary. First time on the Spirit, embarkation was good, cabin great as usual. The problems started when because of Jet Lag we woke up at 3am, no internet or Tv working. This went on for 3 days. I even asked if we could move cabins and was asked" why is TV so important to you?" Wowzers, Wasnt expecting that..I said its not important ...

Unimpressed; cannot see what all the hype is about! Poor management and management processes, terrible communication and, not surprisingly, so much revolves around an App that frequently does not work or work properly and is not well thought out in terms of its functionality. Wi-Fi is ridiculously slow. We had to download an App in order to do the immigration formalities for Singapore; it took 40 ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We had sailed on 2 previous Oceania cruises and believed we found a new favorite cruise line. Having been on 7 different lines over the years and multiple cruises, we decided to book our 3rd Oceania on the Nautica which we were on last year traveling Turkey and Greece. We traveled the Holy Land itinerary from Dubai to Barcelona on the same ship and same room. We had booked this tour on board ...

We chooe this cruise as our friends we going on it and it ticked a few of our bucket list locations, MSC Europa is HUGE, no walking deck, to get to some of the shows you have to walk through the Casino and it always smelt of cigarette smoke and really not very nice at all. Food was very average, Staff in all area's were great, We booked an excursion prior to leaving Australia and on the day of the ...

we chose this cruise at last minute - the ship itself was clean and well run however the meals at the buffet wasnt hot and not a lot of choice. the restaurant meals were ok but nothing exciting as the menu was a bit much the same most nights. we booked an outside cabin with restricted view OMG we couldn't see outside the window at all, not even the sky as a life boat was hard up against the ...
